old orchid grower new to this forum
I've been growing orchids since the 70's and right now I'm really focused on Pleione and Lycaste. Searching out new Pleione hybrids/species can be a full time job but this year I found several new sources and have a number of new plants to try out. My Pleione collection is a sliver of my past collection.....I've imported from Ian Butterfield back when it was so much easier to do so....but I've lost most of those plants through the years. Now I'm in a new location that really seems to be good for Pleiones and I'm sourcing out new material to try. I've been much more successful with the spring-blooming types so that is what I'm focused on. Don't want to kill any more P. maculata, P. praecox etc (sigh).
I am having some trouble adding photos. The buttons don't seem to work for me (nothing happens) in either the 'manage attachments' link or the 'insert image' link. Maybe it's because I'm new to the forum?????
